> For people who become active editors again, it would be interesting to
understand the patterns: Do they leave for a year and start again? (Like
parents taking a baby break) Do they stop for a month and continue? (maybe they
were sick or so) etc. Different thresholds were proposed in this paper, an
extensive analysis of inter-activity time is published here
I guess the first step - before introducing any hypotheses on semantics
("parents taking a baby break", "maybe they were sick or so", etc) - is to take
a look at the distributions of the length of sequences of active and inactive
months.
Here's the chart:

And there is already something interesting to observe: see how (a) on shorter
activity/inactivity sequences (x-axis, represents the length of `000...` or
`111...`) we observe more inactivity periods than activity periods, while (b)
the situation switches in favor of activity periods as the length of the
sequences increases?
Is this an illustration of Lindy indeed?
- The lengthier the observed sequence, it is more likely to be a sequence of
active than inactive months;
- Vice versa, the shorter the observed sequence, it is more likely to be a
sequence of inactive than active months?
